Marcos Alonso against kneeling against racism

In an interview given to 'The Guardian', Chelsea player Marcos Alonso spoke about his way of tackling racism. The Spaniard is no longer a fan of kneeling to fight against racism and he now prefers to point to the 'No to Racism' logo on his shirt sleeve. 

"I just prefer to do it this way. It’s my way to do it. I think it’s another way. And maybe I think it’s losing a bit of strength the other way (kneeling). So I just prefer to do it this way and to show I am fully supportive of fighting against racism." Alonso said. 

"I am fully against racism and I’m against every type of discrimination. I just prefer to put my finger to the badge where it says: ‘No to racism’, like they do in some other sports and football in other countries. I prefer to do it this way and, of course, to say very clearly that I am against racism and I respect everybody," the Chelsea man continued. 

Alonso said that despite having a different opinion to many of his teammates, that did not affect his relationship with them: "We haven’t talked about it. We are in the changing room and we are like a family. I have a very good relationship with everyone. I love everyone and, up to now, we haven’t talked about it. I don’t think there is a need to but, of course, if I have to speak to anyone, I will say the same that I just told you and I don’t think there will be any problems. For now, I prefer to point to the sleeve and that’s what I will do.”
